lyrics
I know why you can’t be brave
The things that keep you meek are the same
As the reason you walk unsure
It’s a part of you that can’t be kept in store
He’s caught between himself
Head in a plastic bag
Don’t try to call it wealth
Head in a plastic bag
I’m tired of the questions you pose
The inhaled exhaled air inside your nose
Find a word that rhymes with deceit
Weakness, treatment, receipt for last week
He’s caught between himself
Head in a plastic bag
Don’t try to call it wealth
Head in a plastic bag
The boring cards he’s dealt
Head in a plastic bag
Go to Bali and find yourself
Head in a plastic bag
(He’s the fire part of fire)
You move your body to the music but its always out of time
I won’t stay I won’t rewind
I won’t remind
You say that sameness is boring and security is a fad
That there’s a mystique and mystery that’s compelling and nostalgic about being bad
I suspect they will – they’ll accept it and embrace it, much more than I
But at some point you’ll touch the line
And more than touch it, you’ll probably lick its salty residue off the road
Then it will be hard to find comfort with anyone for an evening or a day
You’ll be looking for something more substantial, something that pays
You’ll do croissants on the palace du promenade de la romantique de la lygon st without sleep – still no luck g.
So you’ll go to disneyland take pingers and express yourself in front of children
But that won’t work either, nothing will work
Maybe that residual leftover comparatively new set of social life heavies will still have you though.
Maybe with your winter friends you can always be the fire part of fire.
He’s caught between himself
Head in a plastic bag
Don’t try to call it wealth
Head in a plastic bag
The boring cards he’s dealt
Head in a plastic bag
Go to Bali and find yourself
Head in a plastic bag

This latest album has come out at such a pivotal point in my life. My partner and I are together due to the music that Wil puts out, we met because of the music that he shares with us. Independently his music changed my life and has caused me to mature and grow as a person, anything Wil puts out just resonates with my heart and soul, and I couldn't thank him enough. Tyron Banfield

They’ve done it again. The Smith Street Band make great records. Different enough to be interesting, familiar enough to be fun. Phenomenal. Alan Adkins
The Australian punks return with another round of turbo-charged riffs and debauched themes; crack open a cold one and get ready to mosh. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 10, 2024
If you like your post-punk pissed off, wound up, and kind of weird, this Cleveland group's glitchy anti-work opus might just be for you. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 20, 2024

Wil is my biggest inspiration. I've wanted to get this on vinyl for so long but haven't found it so now that I bought it here I'll record it on cassette. This album can always make me cry. MK
